I'm going to disagree with everyone, to the letter of the law once is hand is on top of the ball he was deemed to be in posession, I might not tike it but that's what it says. Cash needs to spend many hours practising crossing the ball, very wasteful, Marvelous was Marvelous and was impressed with Chuks cameo. Thought both teams were in a battle to see who could give the ball away the most in the first half but Villa were dominant in the second, the only complaint I have is that we missed some very easy chances to put the game away.
It was a moving tribute to little Arthur I thought and fitting that the game stopped so everyone could join in.

There’s control and there’s a tenth of a second with the ball under your palm. It’s bollocks.
Has anyone seen a replay of Evans going down when Watkins went through? Was it a foul or another one to add to the "ref is a useless ******" list

Also it doesn’t apply after making a save ? it is all abit ambiguous. When did it change from 2 hands on the ball?
Class from all concerned regarding the sixth minute applause; hopefully the sections of the crowd who join in the chant including the line “if you are a City fan surrender or you die” may think twice about that in future. We’ll played today Villa, Marv MOTM for me, and a Bosnich-esque save from Martinez to boot.
